Leadville Trail 100 Run Training Camp
If it is your first Race Across the Sky or your 28th we encourage you to join us in Leadville for an informative look at the country’s most scenic and challenging ultra course. Group training runs during the day and night will familiarize you with key sections of the course. There will also be discussion sessions with race veterans to help you get the most out of your race experience. Come spend some quality time with us and get to know your fellow racers. Our training camp is an experience you will carry with you forever.
LEADVILLE TRAIL 100 TRAINING RUN CAMP
JUNE 26, 27, & 28, 2010
We like to think of it as a great weekend of good food, good running and good friends. However on a serious note, the training, information and motivation are designed to get you to the finish line in August. Please note that the schedule may have to be adjusted due to the snowpack, but we’ll try to keep you informed as the run date approaches.
Friday, June 25- Arrive in Leadville and check in at race headquarters, (open from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm) 213 Harrison Ave., (or see us at National Mining Hall of Fame, W. 10th St. entrance at 6:30 am on Saturday.) Dinner on your own.

Then, we’ll transport you back to Leadville from Twin Lakes with the last bus leaving by 6:00 pm sharp (but don’t worry, we won’t leave you or lose you). At 7:00 pm this evening we will be providing a pasta dinner at the Conference Center. And for your entertainment and enjoyment, an experienced panel comprised of runners, crew members and race management will discuss “What It Takes to Finish the Leadville Trail 100”.

Elbert, 14,433 ft.) right in our backyard; Golf at Mt. Massive Golf Course (America’s highest); or enjoy the National Mining Hall of Fame and some of our other museums. We are planning a crew seminar at race headquarters during the afternoon. This seminar will be offered by some of the most capable and adept crew chiefs on the planet! We’ll give you complete details at the Sunday evening pasta dinner. Our planned running activity (and it’s an optional one) is a night run from Twin Lakes back to tree line (a distance of about 12 miles).
